I believe kindness is a choice. we can model acts of kindness in the hope that our children will learn this behavior……kindness has to come from within… you can choose to be cruel or to be kind. Teach you children consequences in order for them to make good choices from a young age. It will serve them well in the future.

I think you can teach / encourage people to do kind acts. Over time that might become a habit. If it does, I’m not sure it matters whether it was naturally occurring or was taught.

Coral Class now offer one another pencils and rulers rather than grabbing their own at the start of each piece of writing we do. I love seeing them do it. Yes I’ve encouraged them to but these acts remain kind.

I agree with Shakira because those who are born with kindness will be able to teach kindness and it won’t be very hard for them at all.
I also think that you can teach kindness to the people who were not born with kindness.
